One of the fun things for gardeners in the wintertime is reading the seed catalogs, drooling over the glossy photos of perfect flowers and vegetables, and planning for spring. One may have a standard, go-to catalog, but there are so many others as well. During Something Old and Something New: Seed Catalog 2023, we will explore several dozen seed and nursery catalogs for the new year, looking for what is new or different as well as older but still valuable offerings.
Join the Master Gardeners of Lycoming County to work through a stack of seed catalogs, discovering helpful information. We'll see the big-name houses, and also smaller ones that can be considered. You may have a standard, go-to catalog, but there are so many others as well.
This event is being offered at no charge to participants.
